Went out with my grandfather today for lunch and went to a Memphis Style BBQ place that I've been to a few times. Its a tiny lil restaurant thats hidden behind a gas station in a not-oft traveled place in town... but it by itself convinced me that ribs and pulled pork can be pretty tasty. Before I tried them there I was not a fan of either but now... its one of my favorite places to eat out for lunch.
Ordered a lunch special; a pulled pork plater that came with cornbread with almond butter and two sides. I went with my favorite side of maple sugar dusted sweet potato fries and asked the waitress what side she recommended. So I went with their fiji spiced apples. Just opted for water as a drink and asked if they had any bourbon pecan pie (my last visit I had just discovered they had deserts there and I was curious how they tasted). The waitress said she would check and since I was in no hurry (still had to wait for the food) that was fine.
Food came, waitress still didn't know though they were checking in back. Eventually the check came and by then she discovered they were all out. But since she couldn't find out she offered another desert for free... so I chose the carrot cake. Mind you I think carrot cake is alright but I have never had a satisfactory piece of carrot cake at a restaurant. Its always a tiny lil square with a dollop of cream cheese frosting.
What was brought out was a huge slice of triple layar carrot cake with tons of cream frosting and even a huge rosette of the frosting on top. Shaved carrot over the top and shaved white chocolate on the back of the cake! It was moist, it was delicious... bugs bunny would pimp himself out to have a slice of it. So... while the pie may be a lie rest assured that the Cake is NOT a lie! It was free, and it was good!
